I went the whole route on the Olympus IS-3 DLX. As a matter of fact I just finished a roll of Portra 400 this morning. For little money after watching the big auction site I ended up with the camera, tele, wide and macro lenses, a hand grip, a remote, and a flash. The accessories are all like new and I use them quite a bit in the summer. I have been quite pleased with the photos I have gotten, and it sits right on the table on the enclosed porch all the time ready to take out with the dogs or if I see something interesting out the window. The autofocus is good, the zoom is useful, and the rechargeable batteries are cheap. Have I convinced you?

From such an Olympus its only a small step to the Yashica Samurai (given today‘s film prices, 72 frames are quite beneficial) 😎

This Pentax is on the way. Hopefully it all checks out OK. Plan on using it with my 8 element 50mm f1.4.
Canon wide angle converter. It is large with 72mm rear threads.
And Frank Marshman CLA'd my Fujinon AE 100mm f3.5 lens for the G690.

congrats! Somewhere in my mess I have an Olympus wide- and tele- converter lens pair ... I'll hunt them up, I know they're 62mm threaded attachment but I don't recall whether they're right for the IS-3. You want them, just PM me.
They're not doing any good just sitting in my photo equipment cabinet.G

Thank you so much for your offer but I live in UK and it will be a hassle to post them to here. There are a few people who replied earlier on this thread - if they live on your side of the pond, maybe they will be interested ?congrats!

Not a hassle but expensive! I poked around on the USPS site and it's costing US$50 and upwards for even the cheapest shipment of adequate size these days ... Yikes! That seems to have gone way up in recent months.

The 3 accessory lenses for the IS-3/3000 are 55 mm. I also use them on my Olympus C-2100UZ and C-750UZ with step up adapters. You can go down a deep rabbit hole of turn of the century Olympus stuff. The C-750UZ is kept in the door pocket of my car for unexpected opportunities. It takes reasonable 4MP pictures, has 10X zoom, is basically point and shoot, and I don't care if it gets stolen or broken.

KEH had a "broken" fm10 for 20 shipped that I was going to use the back cover on the second Bessa L...it works with a few issues, DOF preview plastic is cracked and the focus screen has some specs of dust inside it.

Today I bought a second-hand Tarion PB-01 camera backpack from ebay that was listed by a charity shop. It was quite expensive considering it is from a charity shop, but it is near new. The only thing wrong with it is I don't think there's a neck strap for the little should bag, at least I haven't found one yet. There is room for every bit of my Mamiya 1000S kit, but I'm considering getting a Mamiya 2x converter and that may put too much pressure on the space.
